Sec 40 (A) (3)

Hey friends..!!

i am little bit confused in sec 40 A 3 regarding cash payment exceeding 20000 in a day otherwise than by way of a/c payee cheque or draft..!!

Some says this sec not apply if there is seperate invoices from 1 supplier or party to whom we make payment..!!

However the wording in the sec is "Aggregate in a day", so i think that is not important that whether there are seperate invoices or not..., and the sec must apply if the payment exceeds 200000...!!

Please guide proper interpretation..!!

Thanks...!!!!

plz read d section carefully, 

it says in case of an expenditure incurred, in respect of which payment in escess of Rs. 20000 is made by way other than a/c payee bank dratf or cheque, den the exp. will not be allowed

so. in nutshell, it can be said that--- expenditure as well as payment must exceed Rs. 20000.

so, in case two diff invoices are made on same day, they will be considered as diff exp. only

plz correct me if m wrng

ya, sumit you are absolutely right..................

separate invoices amount to 2 different expenditures...even if u pay more than the specified limit of 20000 in a day to the same person via 2 or more different vouchers, it will be allowed provided each voucher is below the limit of 20000......

yup absolutely

Ya, Sunshine u r right. bt sec also states that if expenditure incurred exceeds Rs20000 bt payments are made by splitting the whole amount in small denomination than Rs20000 then also the expenditure shall not b allowed.
